• Chiara Boscato

We sincerely thank all parents who participated in the election process and those who put themselves forward as candidates. Your involvement and support are invaluable in helping strengthen our school community.

We look forward to working together with our new PTA Board members and are confident that their contribution will help make the coming year a successful and enriching one for all our students and families.

Congratulations once again to Mieke, Fong, and Chiara, and thank you to everyone who took part in this important process.

To ensure all students can complete their programmes, make-up sessions for activities cancelled during the year will take place during the first two weeks of June, according to the following schedule:

• Model UN: Thursday 11th June
• Choir: Friday 12th June
• Study Hour PYP (Monday): Monday 8th June

Thank you to all students and families for your participation and support throughout the Afterschool programme this year. We hope everyone has enjoyed the activities and experiences shared together.

The front green areas have been entirely reimagined: approximately 160 square metres of refurbished surfaces across the pergola and seating zones, more than 150 linear metres of treated fir wood edging, a weed-control membrane, selected gravel and a new jasmine hedge with dedicated irrigation along the entrance perimeter. A natural green barrier that improves privacy, visual wellbeing and a sense of welcome.

For our youngest students new play areas arrive, designed to offer diverse experiences: a sandpit with a multifunctional cover that doubles as seating or work surface, the Beaver’s Hideout structure for symbolic and social play, the Robinia Agility Trail for balance and climbing, a Four Square area and a relaxation zone with picnic tables.

On safety, the outdoor Early Years area is now fully enclosed with a new fence and controlled pedestrian access; in the front garden a 5-metre ball-stop net has been installed; the synthetic football pitch features a new shock-absorbing perimeter curb made from non-toxic, antibacterial and anti-mould materials.

And then there is the Quantum Lab, an evolution of our STEAM Lab, becoming the innovation hub of the campus. The first section is already underway and will bring into our classrooms the Unitree Go2 robot and Dobot Magician Basic, image recognition activities, predictive algorithms and IoT projects.

Finally, the gymnasium: new partition walls, a dedicated changing room, an organised storage area and a new professional, competition-grade volleyball system.

Grow, innovate, improve. Together.

Vicenza cambia volto: outdoor, sicurezza e un nuovo modo di imparare

A Vicenza il nuovo anno scolastico si presenta con una promessa concreta: trasformare il campus in un ambiente sempre più completo, dinamico e capace di rispondere ai bisogni di chi lo vive ogni giorno. Lo facciamo per fasi, con un approccio strutturato che guarda lontano. La prima si concentra sugli spazi esterni e sull’ingresso, mentre nei prossimi anni amplieremo gli interventi alle aree posteriori, con un’attenzione specifica ai più piccoli.

Le aree verdi frontali sono state completamente ripensate: circa 160 metri quadrati di superfici riqualificate tra zona pergola e area panchine, oltre 150 metri lineari di bordature in legno di abete trattato, una membrana anti-erbacce, ghiaia selezionata e una nuova siepe di gelsomino con irrigazione dedicata lungo il perimetro d’ingresso. Una barriera verde naturale che migliora privacy, benessere visivo e accoglienza.

Per i più piccoli arrivano nuove aree gioco progettate per esperienze diversificate: una sabbiera con copertura multifunzionale che diventa seduta o piano di appoggio, la struttura Beaver’s Hideout per il gioco simbolico e relazionale, il Robinia Agility Trail per equilibrio e arrampicata, un’area Four Square e uno spazio relax con tavoli picnic.

Sul fronte sicurezza, l’area Early Years è ora completamente delimitata con nuova recinzione e accesso pedonale controllato; nel giardino frontale è stata installata una rete ferma-palloni di cinque metri; sul campo da calcio sintetico un cordolo ammortizzante in materiali atossici, antibatterici e antimuffa.

E poi il Quantum Lab, evoluzione del nostro STEAM Lab, che diventa il fulcro dell’innovazione del campus. La prima sezione è già in fase di realizzazione e porterà in aula Robot Unitree Go2 e Dobot Magician Basic, riconoscimento di immagini, algoritmi predittivi e progetti IoT.

Infine, la palestra: nuove pareti divisorie, uno spogliatoio dedicato, un’area di stoccaggio ordinata e un nuovo impianto professionale di pallavolo da competizione.

Crescere, innovare, migliorare. Insieme.

This will be a joyful community event that brings students together through shared activities, music and conversation. It is designed as an accessible, pressure-free introduction to themes of inclusion, identity, and belonging – values that lie at the heart of who we are as an international school community.

The day is simply about celebrating kindness, curiosity, and the idea that every person deserves to feel seen and welcome.

Activities will include:

• Friendship bracelet making using rainbow and pride-flag colour palettes
• Guided journaling prompts on identity and belonging
• A photo wall: “What makes you, YOU?”
• A collaborative art piece celebrating our school community
• A free reading corner with curated inclusive books

Students are welcome to drop in at any point during lunch, participate in as many activities as they feel comfortable with, or simply spend time in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you would prefer that your child does not participate, please let the school office know in advance.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Set against the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps, this journey has been designed to combine adventure, cultural exploration, collaboration, and personal growth, while offering students meaningful experiences connected to their CAS learning journey.

Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to work and connect with peers from other Nord Anglia Education schools, strengthening teamwork skills and building new friendships in an international environment.

The programme includes a variety of memorable experiences, such as outdoor trekking adventures, including the well-known Tour de l’Argentine, giving students the chance to discover the beauty of the Alps firsthand. Students will also enjoy cultural experiences, including a visit to the charming village of Gruyère and an excursion to Glacier 3000, where they will observe a rapidly changing glacial environment and reflect on environmental challenges.

To complete the experience, students will also take part in guided behind-the-scenes visits to traditional Swiss cheese and chocolate factories, learning more about local culture and production traditions.

We are looking forward to an unforgettable week filled with learning, discovery, teamwork, and adventure.

To ensure all students can complete their programmes, make-up sessions for activities cancelled during the year will take place during the first two weeks of June, according to the following schedule:
